pics deleted sorry.

Thanks for looking

[zapoteke]

VERY nice leatherish colour on the robe there! he's comming on great...

[roguetrader]

hmmm, he is looking a bit brown, what colour will you do the rest in? he needs some contrast imho, good work so far though mate

[racssirt]

Hmm... I'm loving the beard/hair here mate, I never pictured Raddy having a white/grey-ish hair so it certainly provides a difference for me! The robes are amazing too, the amount you have improved is extraordinary! The skin looks brill now its less pale, 'tis just perfect!

Excellent job Andre!

[mminiatures]

looks very good, from the look of things you have a fighting chance in the OR awards (which are looking very competitive).

I'm half way through my entry, for a different category though.

[razhburz]

thanks for your comments
very much apreciated!

To break the brown I have been think ing of either a green or red colour on his tunic. good or bad idea you think?

[zapoteke]

I would say redish, to go with the brown, but not too red... if u see. I mean isn't he called "the brown"? then shouldn't he much be all cloaked up in brown, as Gandalf "the white"/"the grey"!??

Is he not Radagast the Brown?

[razhburz]

Started on another Ork yesterday. here is the out come:




not the best looking bloke I have painted I know but I want to get all 10 for the project so the quality won't be just as good as I want.

btw the eyes are not done yet
thaks for looking

[Tim C]

Nice start there Andre. If I get the time I will get on with mine today.

[zapoteke]

well I must say so far it's looking better than most tabletop quality minis... like the skin colour. it's not that pastel looking green that many go with.

I hope there will be another of these projects in the future, because I'd really would like to tag along

[razhburz]

Thanks guys!


here is he again. done some of the metals. the red os his chainsaw is only the first coat....




Thanks for looking,

Andre

[bruenor]

Looking good there!!

[razhburz]

thanks mate!


update:

ORK:


the chainsword looks rather bad i think

And Dwarf:



Thanks for looking

[mutantpotato]

The skin face and metals looks very good. I am not sure about the chipped red metal though. Make sure to leave a little black line around the metal areas, this will make it look more realistic.

[zapoteke]

LOL really like the face on the dwarf, looks like he's taking a dump while playing the pipe!!! ;D ;D ;D
